China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 867: The Age of Awakening, the Rise of a Great Power

"Operation Red Sea, a military action movie based on the true events of the evacuation of Chinese citizens from Yemen, with the Chinese Navy's deep involvement, has set a new record for domestic military films with its investment scale. A press conference was held a few days ago!

It is reported that Vision Media will undertake the special effects production, striving to present shocking war scenes and visual impacts. The Grand Commander is aiming for the Spring Festival period! "

The media and the Internet soon reported on the completion of filming for Operation Red Sea.

At this time, "The Gunman" entered its fourth week, and the box office growth rate finally slowed down, fluctuating around 10 million.

Even if there is an extension key, it will not last long.

For such a low-budget movie, the box office revenue it brought in is undoubtedly something that makes everyone jealous.

Zhou Yutang dominated the television screen, and the film industry was in chaos.

The Gunners is about to come to an end, and several prime summer feasts are about to be served, all with the wholehearted and crazy promotion spared no effort.

The press releases for "The Founding of an Army" are everywhere, and it's still Zuo Shandiao's old trick of using an all-star lineup to attract the audience's attention, and then the official involvement to forcefully push the main theme.

As for "Wolf Warrior 2", it is quite down-to-earth.

In addition to the traditional publicity channels of Guangguang Media, Jiangdong Entertainment’s video platform promotion is also being promoted.

Another company, Wanda, which spent a lot of money to take over China Film’s shares and rushed into the market, is also making efforts behind the scenes.

Even Wang Xiaocong, the son of Wanda’s boss Wang, was sent out.

Wanda's Little Wang followed the film's director and lead actor Wu Jing and parachuted across the country more than ten days in advance, and made headlines several times during the roadshow.

In fact, the exposure brought by Wu Jing is not even as high as that brought by Wang Xiaocong.

Because the latter is the master of the fruit of reincarnation.

The label of being the son of the richest man in China alone is enough to attract a lot of traffic.

Moreover, Wanda’s Wang is also a young man with a very unique personality. He often speaks out on social media, and sometimes makes shocking remarks, which have caused countless controversies.

Just the day before yesterday, someone said that Xiao Wang’s pet was lost, and offered a reward of one million yuan for any clues.

Many netizens lamented that people are not as good as dogs, and the nationwide search for dogs has even become a hot topic on social media.

Of course, for passers-by, what they like to see most is the romantic affairs of the rich second generation.

Wanda's little king failed miserably with Sun Yining, and before he had time to grieve, a bunch of internet celebrities and young models threw themselves at him.

They all want to improve so much.

Last night at the Jinling Roadshow, he was photographed having supper with a certain internet celebrity. Today, Wanda Xiao Wang was photographed by netizens again shopping hand in hand with the new internet celebrity Dou De'er in Taikoo Li, Chengdu.
However, neither "The Founding of an Army" nor "Wolf Warrior 2" has as much momentum as the king bomb thrown out by Alibaba Pictures.

There are still more than ten days before the official release of Eternal Love, and the pre-sale box office has reached more than 50 million, and it is still increasing at an astonishing rate.

"The fans locked in the theater, which shows that everyone is optimistic about this movie."

"We did a Weibo vote at the time, and Yang Yang and Yang Ying received the most votes. This is what the people want. People didn't choose the wrong people. Their acting skills are very good and they can perfectly interpret the roles."

On a variety show, the producer from Alibaba spoke confidently:

“The entire film cost nearly 200 million yuan and hired the best special effects team in Hollywood, which took two and a half years of hard work.

I can assure you that this is the screening standard for Hollywood's top blockbusters and will become the benchmark for our Chinese fairy tale movies!"

"The guaranteed issuance that many friends in the industry are concerned about is true, but the price will not be less than 2 billion."

The entire film industry was in an uproar.

People did not forget the phenomenal hit TV series "Eternal Love" which opened the year just because "Snow" dominated the summer vacation.

Before this TV series made Jiangdong Entertainment earn a fortune.

At that time, Mr. Qiang, the head of Alibaba Pictures, spent 80 million yuan and claimed to the outside world that he had spent over 100 million yuan to take over the film copyright from Jiang Dong.

The idea is to take advantage of the favorable situation. Now that the movie version is about to be released, it has attracted countless people to watch.

In fact, there was a small incident during the promotion and voting. Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei were far ahead in the votes.

In the end, they had to be automatically banned, which led to the combination of Yang Yang, one of the four top stars, and Yang Ying, a popular young actress.

This is a fan-oriented movie, and Alibaba Pictures is also deliberately guiding public opinion. The movie hasn't even been released yet, but the atmosphere is already tense.
"I feel that Yang Ying's stills are better looking than Da Mimi's."

"After Yang Mi, there will be no Bai Qian. The TV series has been viewed over 300 billion times, and the TV series OST "Liang Liang" has become a masterpiece. My Mi is the queen of TV series. Don't try to touch me, sour chicken!"

"I laughed. Yang Ying is the real Bai Qian. What kind of ability is it for a certain bald-haired chick to rely on a man to get to the top?"

"How dare a certain wild model, who is so obscure, compare with my girlfriend? The text message she sent to William back then·jpg"

"It's better than some shameless person stealing my best friend's man's green tea."

"."

The luck of the Running Man fell on Princess Sweet and Reba, which indeed made Tianbao lose a lot of foundation.

Although she worked very hard to improve herself, she was once a little famous in South Korea because of her good looks.

But compared to Da Mimi, who has almost no rivals under the two Lius in the 85 series, she is not on the same level at all.

Da Mimi’s fans can be said to be the overlords of the domestic entertainment industry.

If I can’t beat Tianxianfen and Yijie’s little lion, then how can I beat you, the Yang Family Generals?

Even though he was being bullied, he didn't let it go and just went all out, basically beating up Yang Ying's fans.

In comparison, the small-scale friction between Yang Yang's fans and Kai Kai Wang's fans is not worth mentioning.

"Sister Mi, I heard that your filming has not been going well recently?"

The fish in the pond also need to get their fair share. Zhou Yutang took time out in the evening to make a video call to the wealthy and generous Da Mimi.

After the filming of "Wushuang" started, the generals under Chen Xi followed the crew on a daily basis and submitted work summaries every day.

Therefore, Zhou Yutang knew exactly what happened on the set of "Wushuang".

"Brother Long's acting skills are really good. There were several times when I failed to catch them."

Da Mimi's tone was slightly envious: "Can acting in a drama really improve my acting skills?"

Zhou Yutang smiled and said, "As long as you put your heart into it, it will come naturally."

Why is it said that acting in a drama can improve acting skills?

That’s because there is no post-production dubbing in a drama, and the actors must use their own dialogue skills to ensure that the audience can hear every line clearly.

This requires both pronunciation and articulation.

Liu Yifei had some problems with her lines before, but after participating in the drama, her lines have been greatly improved in terms of clarity and accuracy.

Through the expression of emotions through dialogue, as well as body language and performance rhythm, one must face the audience directly and infect them.

As for the acting career, apart from the extremely talented contestants, there is no shortcut for others.

After listening to Zhou Yutang's popular science drama, Da Mimi hesitated for a moment and gritted her teeth and said, "After this play is over, I'm going to make a notice."

Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi can do it, and so can I!

"Sister Mi, are you serious?"

"I am serious!"

Da Mimi's tone was unusually firm. Zhou Yutang was a little surprised, but then he was relieved.

In the past, Da Mimi transformed herself into the desperate Thirteenth Lady in order to make the honey business flourish.

Now the gambling contract is almost completed, Mixing's operations are on the right track, and she also has her own pursuits.

After glancing at the pace online, Zhou Yutang saw that the two fans were still communicating in a friendly manner, and he didn't care much.

But when I saw the Alibaba producer's bold statement that he would guarantee a 2 billion box office for the release of "Eternal Love", my smile turned cold.

Li Shuang had just come to report on the arrangements for the premiere. When he talked about this, he sighed, "The people at Alibaba are really arrogant. Who can afford such a large fund?"

"Whether they can eat it or not is not important. What is important is the marketing concept, and that's all they know."

"Why do I feel like you have some opinions about Ali's people?"

Li Shuang keenly sensed that Zhou Yutang's attitude was a little unfriendly.

Zhou Yutang shrugged, "Sister Shuang, you can't get things done just by making a PPT and drawing a rosy picture."

"If the superiors like something, the subordinates will like it even more. They are keen on capital operation."

Li Shuang laughed: "Boss Guo asked you out again when we went to Shanghai this time?"

"We had a meal and talked about those things, which was not very interesting."

“A lot of people placed their bets in advance.”

Li Shuang crossed his arms and asked curiously, "You don't think highly of Mr. Ma's operation?"

"He does his financial empire, and I do my entertainment industry."

Zhou Yutang crossed his legs on the coffee table: "We are not the same kind of people, there is no need to force ourselves to get together."

Now, Jack Ma has risen to prominence and is in a position to look down on the world. The Jiangnan Club, with him as the center, is also forming a giant beast that ordinary people cannot see.

Once that plan is implemented, the entire China will be changed forever, and some of the rules of the game will be set by Jack Ma.

These are things for later, let’s not mention them for now.

"Snow" has reached its final stage of broadcasting. The plot is full of climaxes and the popularity is still rising. The audience is already looking forward to the second season.

Kiwi’s “Sister-in-law Loves Hip-Hop” became a huge hit, and then it officially announced the launch of the talent show “Idol Producer” with great fanfare.

Chen Duling heard Zhou Yutang call a senior executive of Kiwi Fruit Company and asked with some curiosity, "Boss, are you really going to put your cheap brother-in-law in there?"

She is talking about Fan Chengcheng, a returning star in the Korean entertainment industry.

Compared to the four returning boys who are all top stars, Huang Zitao, who is doing the worst, can still act with Da Mimi.

Wang Jiaer from Jiangdong Family has become an international celebrity with countless fans in Southeast Asia.

Xiao Fan, who had no talent, was sadly sent back to his country.

Sent to an international school, but he has no talent for studying.

The most important thing is that all the good-looking genes in the Fan family are in his sister, and Fan Chengben himself is not even that handsome.

If this happened to an ordinary family, they would have the same fate as going to a factory to screw screws.

But who can blame him for being reborn with a top-tier celebrity sister?

Teacher Fan was very worried about his younger brother. He tried all kinds of ways to persuade Governor Zhou and signed many restricted treaties.

Everyone has seven emotions and six desires. Director Qi can even arrange for the dog in his hometown to be a police dog.

Zhou Yutang is not a heartless person.

I just made a few phone calls.

In addition to informing the powerful senior executives of Kiwi Fruit Company to take care of him, Yang Tianzhen's team also came up with a plan, positioning him as a variety show star who is rare in China.

See if I can become a familiar face through variety shows, accumulate some popularity, and improve my acting skills at the same time.

Every time Chen Ning heard Chen Duling and Zhou Yutang chatting, he would sweat.

Playing is playing, joking is joking, who dares to joke with the Grand Commander?

Even when Ma Sheng comes, we have to have the right attitude.

The way Chen Duling and Zhou Yutang get along seems to have crossed the boundary between the relationship between subordinates and superiors.

But Chen Ning knew very well that the two of them had not yet had that kind of relationship.

The mind of an emperor is as unpredictable as the mind of heaven. Even the experienced Chen Ning is somewhat unsure of the commander-in-chief's thoughts.

But his attitude towards Chen Duling became more polite.

The assistant to the previous Grand Commander was called Ni Ni.

He is now the deputy manager of the commercial department of Xiaohongshu.

The Grand Commander Imperial Authority is responsible for the entire key business including advertising sales, brand cooperation, commercial product planning and promotion.

She avoided decades of detours and became a business woman in one step.

Chen Duling's appearance and temperament also conform to Zhou Yutang's aesthetic.

Who knows if she will ascend to heaven?
"Sister Ning, I have something to tell you."

"Dudu, what's wrong?"

"Tomorrow is the premiere of Wolf Warrior 2. I have something else to do, so I have to take a leave."

"No problem. Let Lin Hui help you with the documents in your hand."

In front of Chen Duling, Chen Ning's image as a caring older sister was very stable. She only heard that she wanted to take a leave and agreed without thinking much.
"That's not necessary. I already checked the plan last night and can submit it directly to the boss."

"As expected of a top student at China Southern Airlines."

Chen Ning nodded and smiled: "You have strong working ability. I want to learn from you."

"No, this is my job."

Chen Duling felt a little embarrassed by the compliment: "Thank you, Sister Ning."

"Dudu, tell me the truth."

Chen Ning stared at Chen Duling's expression and asked casually, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Uh no."

Chen Duling was slightly startled, and explained a little unnaturally: "A good friend of mine came to Beijing recently, and I had to entertain him."

"I understand, go ahead."

Chen Ning looked at her meaningfully and said nothing more.

***
Many people are not aware of this.

Just last year, the situation in the South was quite tense.

At that time, the elite troops of the three major fleets of the Celestial Empire, namely the North Sea, East Sea and South Sea, were all deployed in iron-clad battle array.

It was not until this year that official news gradually revealed some information.

Some popular anchors on domestic video platforms often talk about this matter, giving their opinions and expressing their opinions passionately.

It also makes many netizens realize that there has never been a peaceful life, it’s just that someone is carrying the burden for them.

Just this summer, the situation became tense again.

The surging public opinion is as burning as a beacon fire.

Zhou Yutang went to the General Administration for a meeting today, and the topic at hand was the promotion of main-theme film and television dramas.

The competition between major powers is not a real all-in fight, but more about competition in other areas.

Although there is no smoke of gunpowder in the film and television industry, it is also a spiritual battlefield where swords are forged into plowshares.

When the meeting was over, the CEOs of several film and television companies were discussing the matter. Big Dog got into Zhou Yutang's car and went to the premiere of "Wolf Warrior 2" together.
"Yu Tang, you don't think we're really going to do this, right?"

"Don't mind life or death. Fight if you don't agree. Peace is always won through fighting."

"Brother, you are more radical than me."

Li Dagou looked at Zhou Yutang for a few seconds and suddenly laughed.

There was undisguised admiration in his laughter.

He was born into a military family, and he had a pride in his bones.

"Forget it, don't talk about state affairs. This is not something we should worry about."

Zhou Yutang waved his hand and changed the subject: "Director Tong said he wanted to make a mainstream drama, I do have an idea"

"How to say?"

“The Age of Awakening”

The two chatted enthusiastically all the way until they arrived at the premiere venue, the Great Hall of the People.

"I heard that the big boss is here today."

Li Dagou sighed, "This time the time, location and people are all right, and the emotions are right. Wolf Warrior 2 will take off right away."

"It's hard to say yet, we'll see when the time comes."

Before the game started, Zhou Yutang refused to open the champagne and was humble.

Investors who trade stocks all know that emotions are important.

The same is true in the film and television industry. As long as you grasp the emotions of the audience, there will be great success.

Today's China is different from the backward and turbulent times of the last century.

As the country's strength grows, national self-confidence increases.

After all, with a heritage of 5,000 years, China has stood at the top of the world for most of its history.

The Chinese people are boiling with anger over external provocations, and the reaction is far more intense than expected.

The previous generation, when they were dark and weak, endured and lay dormant.

This generation has become the backbone of China.

Facing the hustle and bustle outside, I opened the car door and got out.

The sunlight is somewhat dazzling.

Zhou Yutang's figure is as tall and straight as a jade tree.
